Every week we'll be releasing a new Goomi to backers! This Goomi pattern will be available FREE TODAY FOR FOLLOWERS, afterwards it'll switch to Backers only. The patterns release on Fridays via updates just like this one. You can find it at the bottom of the update, but you must be a backer to access it permanently!
You can back for as little as $10 right here by the way 🥰. Backers and those who pre-order the book will also get access to the entire book EARLY! We'll be sending it out next week along with the launch of our community goal crochet challenge! Bundled tiers will receive the book early too!
On today's special Goomi crochet along we'll be making today's mystery Goomi pattern LIVE! Support the project live to help create a backer train and help us unlock another achievement! This will be a live crochet along and Q&A, so bring any questions you have about the project while we crochet together.
* SUPPORTER TRAIN GIVEAWAY! * Back the project today or add something onto your order to add a Goomi to the train! If a Goomi train gets to 20 Goomis Long today we'll unlock a giveaway! A Goomi train only stays active for 10 minutes though, so make sure to jump on while it's growing to reach our goal!
We've reached another tier, and this one is a great gift for everyone! At 25000 we unlock a free bonus booster pack in every bundle tier!! We've got a few more goals coming up that I'm hoping we can reach during today's crochet along livestream and we can celebrate again with another new reward!
This week vote is for PINS! This was something I was hoping to get up on the ad-ons before we launched, but then I realized I didn't know which pins you'd want most! Vote now on which pins you like best.
Well, that was fast, Battle Goomis is fully funded in just 12 hours!
That means my new crochet card game will exist in the world, beyond my living room! It also means now we’re unlocking STRETCH GOALS!
And to start out for getting fully funded, we’ve untangled the Goomis Theme song!! 🎶
This was composed by my friend Finn Dunham who is an INSANELY talented musician and composer. Every goal that we hit will unlock something new and different for the Goomis!
Some will give us bonus rewards for supporters, sometimes we’ll get new art like stories for each goomi, and each reward will be behind a goal of some kind.
Here’s our next checkpoint goals! You can help out by supporting or sharing Battle Goomis with your friend that also likes cool things, you know the one.
The Goomis is campaign launching in 24 hours at 9am PST on 9/1!! I wanted to give you a heads-up so you don't miss out on the bonus gift for early supporters. I've been working on this book and game for sooooo long and I'm crazy excited and nervous to share it! Here's what you need to know before we launch:
Pleasesupport the project as quickly as possible tomorrow! If you're considering supporting please do so ASAP. This helps the campaign significantly, but also you get bonus rewards for supporting within the first 48 hours! The quicker you support, the more we all get!
Last chance to get the special promo Bigfoot Bobby card by the way! Reserve your spot now to secure the promo!
On launch we have a few special add-ons to upgrade your Goomis to their max goomi-ness (I think I've been thinking about Goomis too much and now my brain is just a Goomi). Add-ons include extra dice, play mats, and booster packs, plus our last game Lava Run at a discounted rate!
I'm hoping we can reach some stretch goals during the campaign to unlock some additional add-ons like expansions, and new crochet kits, but we'll see how it goes!
We've got 3 segments of achievements we're trying to reach during the campaign. Financial, Backer amount, and community goals.
Financial Achievements - These are related to how much money the campaign makes. These achievements will unlock upgrades to the physical game, such as new sticker sheets, expansion packs, and even a dice rolling mobile app!
Backer Achievements - These are related to how many people back the project and are related to upgrades for the main game such as added lore, artwork, and new game modes! Backers that support for any amount will help push this number, so make sure to share the project with a friend so they can get a booster pack!
Community Achievements - These are related to things we do as a community and unlock new additions to the game such as characters, new kits, and free patterns! I'll do a larger update about these more later this week, but we'll be doing things like crochet challenges and other miscelanious goals.
Check back in often here to get free patterns and bonus goodies! Make sure to download the weekly pattern asap or it will go away! We'll also be doing live crochet alongs and votes to create the game together. I really could use your feedback, and I'll send you updates as the campaign continues!
Thank you so much for reading! I'll send you another email tomorrow when the campaign goes live at 9am PST! Comment below with an emoji of a crab to unlock a secret backer goal right now!
The countdown is ON! There’s only ONE WEEK left until Battle Goomis launches! 🎉
Things are about to get seriously Goomified, so I wanted to give you a quick rundown of what you need to know before the campaign begins - from choosing your adventure to unlocking stretch goals, voting on cards, and getting your crochet hooks ready!
The Battle Goomis campaign runs September 1st – 30th, and we're stuffing the month with rewards, stretch goals, community events, and plenty of surprises.
The more support the campaign gets, the more we can level up the game together, unlocking new Goomis, upgrades, cards, and other surprise stitches along the way!
In other words: every backer helps the Goomis get stronger! 💪🧶
There are three main ways to jump into Goomia, depending on how you want to play, read, or crochet!
🎲 BATTLE GOOMIS STARTER SET Ready to battle? This set has everything you need to get two players winding! It includes a box of dice, rule cards, bonus Secret Mission cards, and a starter deck containing one copy of every Common card in the game.
📘 CROCHET GOOMIS Want to bring the Goomis to life yourself? The companion book includes crochet patterns for all 51 playable characters, plus lore, backstories, and even a map to help you explore the world of Goomia! 🗺️
And the best part? The book will be available to ship shortly after the campaign ends, so you won't have to wait long to start hooking your own team!
🧶 GOOMI CROCHET KITS Don't want to hunt down all the supplies yourself? We've got you covered!
Choose from beginner-friendly to advanced kits, complete with the materials you need to crochet your own Goomi - plus a Rare Shiny card to add to your collection. And if one Goomi isn't enough... the Deluxe kits let you build an entire squad! ✨
🌟 BACKER EXCLUSIVE UPGRADES! But why stop at there when you can go full on GOOMI!?
Each of the three core offerings has an upgraded version available exclusively through the campaign, including:
✨ A Deluxe Game with all Shiny cards + custom dice ✍️ A signed copy of Crochet Goomis 🧶 Giant crochet kits for making an entire series of Goomis
Choose the Deluxe bundle or above to unlock these upgraded offerings and take your Goomi adventure to the next level!
Still trying to figure out how all these little yarn creatures are supposed to battle each other? I've got you covered! I just finished a brand-new version of the Battle Goomis rules page, with detailed instructions covering everything from the basics to the more advanced mechanics. I'm also working on a few video tutorials to make learning the game even easier, plus some bonus rules that we'll be adding during the campaign!
So consider the rules a work in progress while we continue to untangle everything. You can check out the full rules page here, and let me know what you think! I'd love your feedback before we lock everything in.
Last week we got a TON of great feedback on Walter the Frog 🐸 and the text area on the bottom of his card. (And yes, voting is still open!) Now I need your help with another important decision:
Vote here or down below! And please don't be shy, I need all the feedback you're willing to give!

There's only 10 more days until launch of Battle Goomis!! I'm so SO SOOOO excited (and nervous)! There's still a lot for me to get ready, and even more to tell you about! Today let's talk about how art works for the game, vote on some art, and I'll even give you a free mystery pattern if you make it to the end!
First up, there's a live crochet along going on TODAY!! We're crocheting this update's mystery pattern livestarting at 3pm PST right here! You can get the free pattern at the end of this update!
I've been working a bunch this week on full art variations for the game and figured I should talk a bit about how they work. Each card in Battle Goomis will have 4+ rarities for their cards which can be found in a variety of ways. To prevent a pay to win structure to the game, every common Goomi card can be found in Starter Sets of the game, however rare full arts and holographic "shinies" can also be found in booster packs and special promo decks! Here's a breakdown:
⭐️ - Common - These are basic cards and will be available in their entirety in the Starter Set of the game. ⭐️⭐️ - Shiny - These are shiny (holographic foil) versions of all the common cards, available in the Deluxe Set of the game and booster packs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Rare - These are full art versions of the cards, often with completely unique art from the common cards. These can be found in the booster packs of the game. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Shiny Rare - These are shiny versions of full art cards. These can be found in the booster packs of the game. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Ultra Rare Cards - There will be some extremely rare cards such as gold foil and one of a kind art. These will have a very limited run and sometimes only have one printed version in circulation! Promotional cards will have a unique scoring.
Bonus Content! - Each variation of a card will have their own special Goomi code to be used on the Club Crochet website to untangle the digital card and it's associated bonus content such as wallpapers, music, lore, and strategy insights!
Every 5 cards untangled will give the user a credit to use on any crochet pattern and tutorial in the library!
Secret Stretch Goal🤞: Untangle every card in the game to get special hidden bonus content, like art, music and short stories! STATUS LOCKED 🔒
Help!! I made 3 different versions of the full art for Walter the Frog! We can only choose one though, which of these 3 options do you like best?
Option A - No effects, zoomed in Option B - Magic in the eyes! Option C - Magical, zoomed out to show more art
These polls will be open the entirety of the project. Check out all the polls and place your votes here!
Wow! You really made it to the end or you just scrolled down all the way to grab a freebie, but either way, thank you so much! To unlock a super secret bonus reward, include an emoji of a squid in a comment below!
